STS for Education in Engineering and Society
Abstract
For nearly 50 years, STS education has been promoted in different parts of the world. Initially by associations of secondary school teachers in countries such as the United States, Canada and Australia, they sought to respond to the need for scientific and technological literacy of citizens, promote interest in science and technology in students by incorporating the social contextualization of scientific studies, together with the importance of analyzing the interactions between science, technology and society. Other attributes of STS education were related to critical thinking and decision-making, regarding a world increasingly impacted by science and technology. STS education also reached the university context, in programs of natural sciences, engineering, social sciences and humanities.
